How do you get comets?
they come from the left over matter from when that solar system was first made
Where do asteroids and comets come from?
Asteroids are minor planets, especially those of the Inner Solar System. However, between the orbital paths of Mars and Jupiter lie a region known as the asteroid belt. Many asteroids come from there, but most of them stay there. Short-period comets originate from the Kuiper Belt, just outside the orbit of Neptune, while long-period comets are thought to originate in the Oort cloud.
What is the source of the solar system's comets?
Most are thought to come from the kuiper belt, further out than the orbit of Neptune. Long term comets may also come from the Oort cloud, which is further out still.
How close do comet to the earth?
Comets have their own orbits in our solar system around the sun. They don't come close to the earth.
How did ice form in space?
Just got this from the internet. Comets are usually in the outermost regions of the Solar system (the Oort cloud), where it is extremely cold. Water ice can survive billions of years in the Oort cloud. However, the comets we observe -- those that come into the inner Solar system --- do lose a lot of volatiles. This is a part of the process that creates the tails, the signature we associate with comets. Comets that are trapped in the inner Solar system will soon (astronomically speaking) exhaust all their volatiles and become extinct (i.e., rocks with no cometary activities).
What force makes comets come into your solar system?
Gravity.
do comets come from a black hole?
No. Comets are made from the leftover material when a solar system forms.
Do comets come from inner realms of the solar system?
No. They form in the outer solar system where it is cold enough.
Is Halley's comet part of our solar system?
Yes. The solar system is everything that orbits the sun.

Why is there a ring of ice and dust around your solar system?
that is called the Oort cloud and that's where comets come from.

What ia the zone from which a long period comet comes from?
By definition, long period comets come from within the gravitational pull of this solar system; when they leave the solar system, they are no longer considered to have a period.
Why do comets come close to earths atomisphere?
Comets move all over the Solar System, and there are many of them, so sooner or later, you would expect one of them getting close to Earth.
